Say Goodbye With A Smile

 One day I may quit

One day I may go

Don’t cry those tears

Don’t think of those fears

All of us will go

So will I, so will you

Make me proud, will you?

Smile at me, won’t you?

I may not see you smile

But I may neither see you cry!

Why shed those tears?

To keep me in fears!

Think of what good I did

Or, at least, what bad I didn’t!

Of all good days, we shared

Of all wide smiles, we blared

Think of how you could

Make me feel proud

Think of how you could

Keep my memories alive

 

Smile at me as I will lay

Smiling back at you, at everyone

You know I won’t quit

But go, I may as you will too!

I will go leaving behind

Memories that make you smile

Please don’t cry, please don’t worry

For we shall meet someday again!

Laugh aloud so I will hear

No matter where my soul remains

Smile so wide that all your tears

Will vanish and twinkle away

Let me go, by leaving behind

Something of mine, I won’t need again

My eyes, my heart, my memories

All of those, I will leave behind

 

I won’t quit, but I will go

As soul departs and life goes dull

For soul-less life and lifeless soul

Are good for nothing to keep on going!

Don’t cry those tears

Don’t wait for me

I shall go

Where you shall go.

 

Pain & Smile

The tougher times are the ones you never forget

The times when you cringe out of pain, mental or physical,

The times when nothing seems to go right

The times when the whole world seems to fight!

Those are the times that stay fresh in your mind

No matter how far you have come across

Leaving those painful days; Months or years?

Even a moment of pain is unforgettable, for those who rarely get to taste them!

For those who live in pain forever,

It becomes THE way of life, rather than a moment to pass by.

Pain is, alas, so relative; it is a close one for many!

Who refuse to stay away, and cling on

No matter how good or bad you become!

Time heals, they say, but do they really?

Cause time reminds you of those painful days

The pain remains fresh in the memories

Bringing a tear to your mind and the eyes

It’s only those painful memories that stay fresh

And never the gratitude or the happiness that stayed before and after!

Sometimes I wonder is this to stay longer?

How far or forever?

The moment I feel it may stay back forever

I bring back my smile, as I need it to start my fight!

You cannot share your pain is what they say

But you can, your smile!

I’d rather spread the smile, than the pain

And keep it my secret never to reveal

One day it will get bored, with no one to share

And kill itself in the ocean of smiles!

No more will I have to strain

To bring that smile once more to my face!

But the pain will not end there for sure

As it will stay back in my memories, reminding me

Holding me back from a full smile, fearing,

Will it revive from the same ocean of smile?

Pain can be very painful as the smile can be too!

And pain brings out the better of you, some say

Smile is definitely the better of you,

That you bring out to hide your pain!

It is indeed a vicious friendship, between pain and the smile.

One outshines the other, and brings out the best of the other!

When you are in pain, you tend to smile a lot, to hide it

When you are out of it, you smile, yet you fear the pain

The smile that outshines the fear and pain is heavenly

It’s the smile, Buddha’s smile.

It’s a smile of content, there’s nothing to fear

Done it all, experienced it all!

It is the calm, peace of mind!

The smile that overshadows everything,

Like a child’s innocence or the Buddha’s peace!

That’s the one that never brings you pain

But that’s the most difficult one to attain.

Keep smiling no matter what you feel

Smile is contagious, people say.

It’s better to spread a smile than the pain

The world has enough reasons to worry anyway!

 

(Something I actually wrote sometime in July!)

Beauty – Is it what you see in the Mirror?

Do you think your appearance makes you beautiful? I think your mind makes you more beautiful. It is all about how you perceive things. It is all about how you see. Don’t they say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder!

Look beyond what your eyes can see!

True indeed, you are the most beautiful person when you are beautiful from inside. When you are able to forget and forgive people around you, you become the most beautiful person. When you are able to smile through your tears, you become the most beautiful person. When you are able to see the goodness through the badness, you become the most beautiful person. That’s what you are!

No matter how fair you are, or how sharp your features are, what matters the most is how pure your smile is and how genuine your intentions are. Be Beautiful from Inside Out! Smile a little more. Spread some happiness among the people around you, make them smile too!

Smile – Its contagious!

Smile is the most contagious emotions of all. No matter how angry you are, the moment you see a baby or a child smiling, it spreads on our face too! As someone said, Smile is a small curve that sets straight many broken hearts.

Everyone has issues in their lives. You won’t get anything by keeping the grudge deep within and getting curt at everything! But if you force a smile on your face, slowly your mind starts to accept it. I always do that everytime I want to get out of that awfully angry  or sad feeling.

But at times we do feel angry or sad! Think of all the goodness you have experienced in the recent times. If that does not help, go back further. If that too does not help, watch a lot of baby videos! Believe me that helps a lot. Or just force a smile on your face! Let it be there instead of the frown. Your mind will start believing that you are happy and slowly you will feel much better.

Hum your favourite tune or dance if you can! Only you can help you out of your foul mood and you know the best way to do so. Eat a chocolate, believe me that helps too 😀 Or else, just sit down and start writing down whatever you feel at that point. By the time you have poured your heart out, you will surely feel much lighter.  Now don’t think that I am pouring my heart out right now!

One of my cousins digged out an old photo where we are all laughing and a friend commented that the smile on each of our face looked really good. It was a candid picture and I have to agree, one of my favourites too. So be with your loved ones when you feel down. They can help you come out of it, but only if you cooperate.

Keep smiling and keep spreading it! 😀

Birthday Wishes…

My husband once asked me why I bother to wish people,some of whom I hardly know, on their birthday. My birthday has been forgotten a few times earlier by a few people whom I consider my closest and I have felt awful about it for a long time. That’s exactly why I make it a point to wish everyone around me on their birthday if I get to know about it. It might seem silly but then, I am sure it would bring a smile on their face. 🙂

That’s more because as a child our birthdays are celebrated grandly and we get a feeling that it is indeed a special day. And when someone close to us forgets this special day of our life, we tend to feel a little less loved!!! As we age, we realize that it is just another day!

I celebrated mine yesterday and, thanks to facebook and WhatsApp, I received so many birthday wishes from my friends and relatives around the world. In fact, I keep getting them even now as I am typing! 😀 It definitely makes me happy and that’s exactly why I wish my near and dear ones on their birthdays and wedding anniversaries.

I am sure that even if you don’t believe in celebrating your birthday, you do feel good when people wish you. It definitely makes you feel special, at least on this day. One of my friends celebrated her birthday last week and, though she never complained, she felt sad that her dearest friend did not bother to wish her! When the whole world is wishing her on her birthday, the one from whom she wanted to hear it, just did not bother. You are not losing anything by wishing a person on their birthday.

My dearest friend, Here’s my special Birthday Wishes to you, again, on behalf of your friend.

In this tech-supported era, you can set a birthday reminder using a software and make sure you wish all your near and dear ones at least on their special day. It makes them feel loved, at least one day every year!!! Wish and Make a person smile, because SMILE is contagious. 😀
